Birkenstock Intensive Moisturizing Rich Cream – $65
Overall Rating: 
(3 / 5)
Performance Rating: 
(2 / 5)
Ingredients Rating: (3 / 5)
The Birkenstock skincare products contain cork oil, which is said to have the ability to tighten the skin and thus reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
I really like the Birkenstock Anti-Stress Serum (which is a skin oil containing only natural ingredients) and the eye cream, and so I decided to try this face cream as well.
Unfortunately the face cream seems to make my skin feel a little itchy and slightly irritated, which I suspect is due to some of the preservative ingredients (benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, benzyl benzoate and benzyl salicylate).
The cream also includes a pretty strong baby powder type scent that is said to be derived from natural ingredients but that I still would rather they had not used.
Although I have used up a good bit of the product despite the mild skin irritation issues, I do not see myself buying it again.

Birkenstock Moisturizing Eye Contour Balm – $55
♣ Living Clean Superstar
Overall Rating: (5 / 5)
Performance Rating: (5 / 5)
Ingredients Rating: (4 / 5)
As of June 2022, this product was no longer listed on the Birkenstock website.
Like other Birkenstock skincare products, this eye cream contains cork extract – an unusual ingredient that has been shown in some published studies to have the ability to help to soften the appearance of wrinkles.
A number of hydrators, including hyaluronic acid (from snow mushroom) and jojoba oil also are included.
Although I had some issues with one of the Birkenstock face creams being mildly irritating to my skin, the eye cream seems to have been fine for me.
It does include a number of potentially problem ingredients, including several different preservatives.
The fragrance is said to be derived from all natural ingredients and is a mild baby-powder type scent that has not bothered me. Other natural citrus-type scents (limonene and linalool) also are included.
Personally, I have been very enthusiastic about the Birkenstock Anti-Stress Serum, which is a face oil that includes cork extract and a variety of other natural ingredients without any potentially problematic laboratory-created chemicals.
I am thinking that I will continue to use that one consistently in the future, including carefully in the area near my eyes.
I’ve gone through almost a whole bottle of the eye cream, and though I’m a little less enthusiastic about it than I am the Anti-Stress Serum, I may buy it again as well since it does seem to have been helpful with regard to wrinkling issues.

Just So Coffee Bean Eye Cream – $10

♣ Living Clean Superstar
Overall Rating: (5 / 5)
Performance Rating: (5 / 5)
Ingredients Rating: (5 / 5)
Just So ceased operations in early 2022.
This is an affordably priced and super-clean eye cream that is made by hand by Andrea Fabry, who is a toxic mold survivor who has writes about natural living issues in books and on a website called It Takes Time.
During the first several weeks of my experiments with using skincare products on a regular basis, I tried using this eye cream on one side of my face and the Aveda Tulasara products (eye cream and sleeping mask) on the other side.
Both sides looked obviously better as a result, especially in terms of the bags under my eyes going away.
This was a real accomplishment for this eye cream considering how inexpensive and clean it is.
I also do feel that this makes for a nice overall face cream that provides relatively lightweight moisturizing as well as anti-puffiness benefits to the face.
Just So ceased operations in early 2022.
I really wish that Andrea would continue to make and sell this product.
